he joins us from the nasdaq. so nick, we began the show with another dire warning about the fiscal cliff and the threat of recession. now we just heard that substantial progress has been made with the european debt situation. are europe's troubles deeper than the u.s. here as we sit in the latter half of 2012? >> well, i would say that europe's problems are deep never many ways. unemployment in places like greece is reaching north of 25%, north of 58% for young people, so there are pockets of europe that are clearly much worse than the general u.s. economy. but i would say that the u.s. is quickly catching up. the issues of the fiscal cliff are serious and fairly immediate. >> tom: are they making substantial progress in your estimation toward avoiding that cliff like we just heard from the european central bank, the president in his explanation of what they think they have done if the last year? >> i think europe has certainly made some real progress. particularly in the last few months in putting a firewall in

he joins us from that firm in boston. duncan, i take it you're a pessimist in regards to avoiding the fiscal cliff that we're going to go over? >> not really a pessimist. i think the fiscal cliff is going to be more of a fiscal slope, but there will be a tax element to it. i think because we're starting at such a low level of tax rates, we're very likely to have higher taxes either immediately with the expiration of the payroll tax and potentially on capital gains and dividends in 2013 and beyond. >> tom: how should invests approach that, invest on what tax rates may be next year? >> not really. but there are great costs to be avoided by lessening the tax drag on your investment. positioning your portfolio and making sure you're in sthooks can outperform in a rising interest rate environment-- which is another thing we're worried about-- longer term makes some sense. >> tom: so rising interest rate environment, possibly higher inflation, higher taxes. not exactly the most shiny of forecasts for investors. >> well, there i
